THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Fellow Travelers Cheer Berne Victim Os Theft

’Sally Bagley, whose flashing -blue eyes may soon grace national magazine covers, arrived in Berne early this morning to spend the holidays with her family, but her heart was laden with despair. All her baggage — including her dis inctive model’s hatbox — was stolen Monday afternoon while she was in New York’s Pennsylvania railroad station getting a ticket home. Worst of all, the thief got a •ormal gown she had been saving for New Year's eve, and her diary. As the crack Trailblazer sped through the night toward Fort Wayne, Sally received some solace. from four other Adams county residents, also on their way home after sojourns in Gotham. They were Frank Tranter, co-manager of the Decatur airport; Mr. and Mrs. Chris Lehman, of Berne, who had visited their son Bob on Long Island ; and Ken Bernstein, Daily Democrat reporter. The saddening tlfeft of “all my worldly ’ belongings" did not dim Sally’s love for New York. “I just adore Neiw York," she exclaimed. '‘l’ve seen all the night spots — the Stork Club was the best, natch.”

Harry Reed has received a letter from his old frield, Leslie Andrews, former Decatur man residing in Phoenix, Ariz., where Leslie says he and Mrs. Andrews and their two sons have moved to make their future home. They have purchased properties there. Leslie, who was a printer on this paper many years ago, operated a linotype on the Indianapolis News for 40 years. He is a brother of the late P. L. Andrews.

Man Fatally Injured Alighting From Auto Clinton, Ind., Dec. 28 — (UP) — Frank Lorenzeni, 67,. Universal, Ind., died last night of injuries suffered earlier yesterday when he fell while getting out of an automobile. Lorenzeni was brought to Vermillion county hospital here from Universal, seven miles west of Clinton.

Sally recently completed a fiveweek modeling course at the renowned Barbizon school, “where they gave me a crew cut and untaught me all I ever learned about posture and things." Despite the three-inch bob, the 18-yearold Berne resident was a striking picture of poise and attractiveness in a white suit and a flower-bedecked hat with a red veil which admittedly “makes me look like I’ve got smallpox.” The young model said she hasn’t posed for advertisements yet, hut she has appeared in publicity photos in three New York newspapers. She recently appeared on Kay Kyser’s musical quiz program, answering four questions right. The vacuum cleaner she won was sent to her family in Berne. Sally will be home until after the first of lhe year. But having lost everything she owned, she's wondering how she’ll look at a New Year’s eve party wearing her trusty white suit with the flowery hat and the smallpox veil. If the opinion of 450 Trailblazer passengers means anything, she'll look wonderful.

Happy Chistmas For Former Local Couple As Son Returns Home A couple in Sturgis, Mich., who formerly lived in Decatur, this year deceived the most wonderful Christmas present of their lives.

On that morning the lad left home, leaving a note for his parents saying he was going downtown. He was not heard from for six months. Then, Christmas morning, Jeiry walked in on his onee-anguis i. ed parents. He told them he had wanted to see the west and had traveled extensively since leaving home. Jerry is a nephew of Mrs. Arthur Daniels and Mrs. Darrel Kreischer. His grandmother is Mrs. Wilker Woodruff. FORMER G-MAN (Cont. From Page One) ministrators everywhere.
